In order to determine if genetically determined immune response factors could play a role in the pathogenesis of infective
endocarditis
in black patients, we performed
HLA-A
and HLA-B typing in 38 patients with this disease and HLA-DR and HLA-DQ typing in 33 and 27 of these individuals, respectively. HLA typing was also carried out in a control group of normal black adults. The HLA typing was done by means of a standard microlymphocytotoxicity test. No difference in
HLA-A
, HLA-B, HLA-DR and HLA-DQ antigen frequencies between patients and controls were noted. This study did not provide any evidence that genetic factors could contribute to a disposition to infective
endocarditis
.
